When Wang Fu and his party arrived in Suizhou, a Hongmao messenger came to deliver the edict. Wang Fu took the edict, read it, and handed it to Dong Xing, "It's chaos, it's absolutely chaos! The prince must have been ordered by someone to be so mad."

!”

Dong Xing looked at it and smiled, "They say that the prince is cowardly and benevolent. I'm afraid they all misunderstood. The prince is fighting to the death. I'm afraid the emperor didn't expect that the prince would bet such a big bet!"

"Yes, if he loses the bet, he will be sentenced to death, and the world will still be named Liu! And for us people, not only will our heads fall, but the entire family will be implicated! Wang Weiquan of the Fengxiang Army actually fell into the trap of the prince.

, send troops to help the prince against Xiao Kui! What a rebellion!"

"General Wang, the emperor's edict praised Duke Wang Weiquan for his loyalty to the country, and named Wang Weiquan the Marquis of Duting. He also asked General Wang to return to the court quickly to coordinate with His Highness the Prince of Jin to supervise the military affairs such as the military preparations and training of the troops stationed in various places. It seems that this is the next step.

The situation down the road will be more complicated!"

Wang Fu paced back and forth and pointed with his hand, "Call Qian Jingzhi in!"

Dong Xing immediately went out to find Qian Jingzhi. When Wang Fu discussed matters with Qian Jingzhi, Dong Xing always consciously refused to participate.

Qian Jingzhi was Wang Fu's chief of general affairs and one of Wang Fu's confidants. It was always Qian Jingzhi who supervised military affairs.

Qian Jingzhi came in calmly, "The general asked me to come in because of the Fengxiang Army?"

Wang Fu stretched out his hand to invite Qian Jingzhi to sit down, "Jingzhi, you guessed part of it right. The Fengxiang Army went to Chang'an at the command of the prince without my instructions! The government and the public were shocked, and the world was shocked! By the way, the emperor is anxious here.

Zhao, you can take a look!"

Qian Jingzhi took the edict and looked at it, "The general is really ready to work with the King of Jin to rectify military affairs?"

"The emperor's edict has been clearly stated. Do I still want to disobey it?"

Qian Jingzhi waved his hand, "The general has been in a high position for many years. He has the Fengxiang Army stationed in Guanzhong, the Beiping Left Army stationed in Fanyang, the Jiangnan Right Army stationed in Qiantang, and the Jiannan Army stationed in Chengdu. They are eighteen elite armies in the world."

Horses, there are four armies under the direct command of the general. If the general does not retreat bravely, are you waiting for the same fate as Han Xin and Zhou Yafu? The emperor is clearly asking you to coordinate with the Jin Dynasty to rectify military affairs, but in fact he is reminding the general.

It’s time to hand over military power!”

Wang Fu touched his forehead and wiped the sweat, "You mean the emperor is going to take action?"

"The emperor does not want to target the general, but he will restrict and suppress anyone who poses a threat to the imperial power! Now that the King of Jin has grown up, and the prince has been running the business for many years, the emperor's biggest taboo is for people with military power to get too close to the prince!"

"Old Qian, your analysis is wrong. It is known throughout the world that my General's Mansion and the East Palace are on the same page, and we are also fighting openly and secretly with the Pei family behind the King of Jin. How could the Emperor suspect that I am colluding with the princes?"

"How does the emperor know that all this was not staged for him by the general? This time Wang Weiquan took action, the emperor had to suspect that the Wang family was secretly supporting the prince! Not only did the emperor think so, but other courtiers from aristocratic families might also think so.

idea!"

Wang Fu stamped his feet, "It's all Wang Weiquan, with a pig's head! Now we've all been fooled!"

Qian Jingzhi smiled and said, "General Wang, in crisis, there is an opportunity. What's more, Wang Weiquan's chaos just happened to find a good escape route for the Wang family!"

"Don't comfort me! We are about to reduce our military power, and we may even have our homes confiscated and exiled!"

"No, General Wang, the emperor is suppressing the prince everywhere. The Pei family behind King Jin is aggressive, and there are people from the Xiao family who have taken refuge in King Jin. The emperor needs someone to help the prince at this time. Whether it is a real gang or a fake gang, as long as there is someone

this

I believe that everyone in the world will see this gesture. The emperor is now in his sixties, but he has a strong ambition and a strong body. He will not be able to pass the throne to any prince early, nor will he sit back and let any prince have too much power. Support

The purpose of the King of Jin is to suppress the Crown Prince, and now the purpose of conferring the title of Wang Weiquan is to contain the King of Jin!"

"Old Qian, you have been talking for a long time, but it seems that it has nothing to do with me. How can I deal with myself now? I will arrive in the capital in three days!"

"General Wang has a rare commodity, but is he still afraid of losing his position? Think about it, if an army of hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of people suddenly appears in Daliang, will your Majesty be in a hurry to reorganize military affairs? Or maybe?

Suddenly there is such an army in Daliang, the emperor also needs someone to balance it, doesn't he?"

Wang Fu looked out the door, "I still don't know whether what you said is true or false. Although the emperor convened a court meeting, no one has seen those hundreds of ships! And no one has seen Li Xiaofei with his own eyes!"

"It doesn't matter whether anyone has seen it. What's important is that the emperor believes that Li Xiaofei is coming back! Whether Li Xiaofei comes back to take revenge or go home to take care of his children, the emperor will not take it lightly!"

"So, we need to release some news? Or make some arrangements?"

"No, this will be self-defeating. From now on, General Wang can just tell the world in a big way that he has received Li Xiaofei's family and is about to return to Beijing!"

"Old Qian, aren't you trying to trick me? You've beaten people from Zhongyi Hall more than a dozen times along the way! And you're still making a big deal about it, oh, I understand. You want Li Xiaofei's old subordinates to know, and let those who don't know yet still

Even Li Xiaofei, who is here or not, will know. You are a waste of talent, old man, it’s not worth following me!"

"General Wang was joking. There are still many of Li Xiaofei's old troops hidden among the people, and the world likes to spread rumors. It's hard to say what these old troops will do when they learn that Li Xiaofei's family members have been taken to the capital by the emperor. By then,

The general is naturally a sharp sword that the emperor cannot throw away!"

Wang Fu's heart trembled and his face looked a little ugly. "Old Qian, I understand. You go out and call Old Dong in. I suddenly feel uncomfortable."

Qian Jingzhi knew that Wang Fu's face would look ugly when Li Xiaofei was mentioned. After all, no one would be happy if he mentioned his most disgraceful things to a person.

Dong Xing came over with Zhan Fei. When he saw Zhan Fei also coming in, Wang Fu's face became even more ugly.

Zhan Fei ran over and took his pulse. "The general's pulse is abnormal and he is restless. Could it be that something happened?"

Wang Fu waved his hand, "It's okay, you made a mistake!"

Dong Xing knew something was wrong, so he asked Zhan Fei to go out first.

When Wang Fu saw Zhan Fei going out, he said to Dong Xing, "Don't bring this child to see me in the future. I will feel uncomfortable when I see him. The nicer this child is to me, the more I want to kill him!"

Dong Xing shook his head, "The general's heart knot still needs heart medicine to heal! But I'd better give you silver needles to relieve it first, otherwise you'll have another headache!"

Dong Xing pricked Wang Fu with silver needles for more than an hour. Wang Fu felt a little better, so he asked Dong Xing to put away the silver needles, put on his clothes and went out for a walk to get some fresh air.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Zhan Fei came over with a bowl of something. "General, my mother knew that you were restless, so she made you a bowl of lotus seed, pig heart, and wolfberry soup, which will soothe your nerves and nourish your brain! Doctor Dong, please use your

Give the silver needle to the general to try!"

Zhan Fei smiled mischievously, and Dong Xing also smiled, "Come on, the general still has to drink this soup. Does the general want to go out for a walk?"

Wang Fu covered his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "Take it in, don't leave, Zhan Fei, thank you, mother, thank you!"

"General, I want this soup."

If it doesn’t taste good, my mother will make you another bowl!”

"Very good, very good, no need to do anything!"

Dong Xing finished the bowl of lotus seed, pig heart and wolfberry soup and smiled at Wang Fu, "General, I'm afraid you will have more headaches in the future. This child is kind-hearted. I think you should adopt him as your adopted son instead of having such a headache."

,"

"No, no, no, I betrayed his father and then adopted him as my adopted son. This is so inappropriate!"

"The general is so entangled, does he want to die under the sword of their father and son in the future? I am also surprised. The general kills people so much, why did he become a saint when he met this boy? This boy is good to you, you can take advantage of the situation.

Give me a favor, and no matter what happens in the future, at least this kid will be on your side!"

"I don't know what's going on. As long as I see this child, I will feel despicable and have done all the bad things! Could it be that he is destined to defeat me? I have to find old money to do the math for me!"

In the next few days, Lily Bass Soup, Gastrodia Crucian Carp Soup, and Big Bone Ginger Soup were all delivered to Wang Fu, and most of Dong Xing's silver needles were scrapped.

On the eve of entering Luoyang, Wang Fu called Wang Ruoyun Zhanfei, his mother and son, and Dong Xing and Qian Jingzhi to have dinner together.

Seeing Wang Ruoyun and Zhan Fei feasting happily, Wang Fu looked solemn, "Madam, dear nephew, when the time comes, follow me into the palace in five days. Remember to talk less and kowtow more. Don't talk nonsense. It's dangerous to say the wrong thing in the palace."

I'm going to lose my head! Also, if the emperor gives you a banquet, just take a few bites of the food and you can't be as casual as now!"

Wang Ruoyun put down his chopsticks, "I will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Why can't I enter the palace in five days? I can just shout long live and say nothing!"

Qian Jingzhi said to Wang Ruoyun, "Mrs. Wang, starting from tomorrow, someone from the palace will teach you etiquette. You will also have to take a bath and check to prove your integrity! There are too many things to pay attention to when entering the palace!"

Zhan Fei looked at Wang Fu and said, "General, don't you have to prepare for a few days before entering the palace?"

"The General's entry into the palace is naturally different from yours! Come and eat more tonight. From tomorrow on, you must have three meals a day according to the rules of the palace. You cannot eat meaty or strong-smelling food. You can only drink porridge.

Then you have to gargle some water mixed with spices every day, and you have to practice how to kneel down and pray. After these five days, you will lose several pounds!"

"Doctor Dong, can you bring my silver needle to test the poison when you enter the palace?"

Everyone laughed, "Silly boy, are the people in the palace afraid that you will poison them? Every dish is tested by someone from the palace in advance. Your silver needle must be kept and cannot be brought in. If it is eaten by someone,

Found out to be an assassin!"

"Can you not go? It's not possible to do this or that, it's too uncomfortable!"

"You can't go if you don't go! If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order, and everyone in your family will be killed! Don't think too much and eat quickly!"

Wang Fu looked at Zhan Fei and Wang Ruoyun and put down his chopsticks, "Madam, you have troubled me these days and made me some soup to replenish my health. Wang just has a wish, and I hope that Madam will make it come true!"

Wang Ruoyun spat out the meat in his mouth, "General Wang, I'm already a yellow-faced woman. Besides, you can't bully your friends' wives!"

Wang Fu almost choked, "No, no, no, what I'm saying is that Zhan Fei is kind-hearted. Mr. Dong and Qian Changshi like him very much. Wang has an idea,"

"I understand, Zhan Fei, Dr. Dong has taught you a lot of medical skills, so just ask him to be your godfather!"

Wang Fu and Dong Xing were stunned. Zhan Fei was already kneeling on the ground and calling him godfather.
